Patented March 2,- 1909 Application iled July 9, 3.908. Serial No. 442,690.

A To all who-m timmy concern:

Be it known that l, Gusvnv Paramus, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Chester, Delaware county, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Valve, of which the following is specification.

My invention relates to a new and useful valve, wherein l provide means lor controlling the flow of fluid therethrough and means for completely stopping the 'ile'.v independent of the controlling means.

It further consists of a new and novel support for the controllin valve.

It further consists oi ot novel features oi' construction, all .as H hereinafter' fully set forth".

Figure 1 represents a faucet embodying 'my Fig. 2 represents a bottom vpla Fig. 3 represents a vertical s "ereol Fig. 4 re resents a ser a cap employe in detached pusir 5 represents a side elevation oi oi the supporting means for the' con c; valve.

ce indicate Similar' numerals ol' corresponding parts in 'the hg s.

Referring to the drawings. have found in practice that it is often necessary and essential that the flow of fluid tl `ough a valve should be entirely shut oi 'u' at interlering with the liow through otl valves. My invention is designed to lish this result and in the drawings i. ve shown a construction which l have lo l -will operate successfully in practice but ill he evident that the arts may be v e arrangement of tile same may he chi and other instrumentalities may be employed which will come Within the ol my invention and l do not therefore d tt oe limited in er struction as desire to Jessary.l i valve isa bu in t e herein shown and destJ make such changes as n .f -lt will be understood that cable to any form ci sings, I have shown 't to e faucet and that l pre addition to this contre means for entirely stopp casing 2 whereby the operating valve mayv :be removed and repairs made thereto without interfering with .the other faucets in use, the

advantages of which will be apparent from the present practice where it is necessary,

shou d repairs be required, to stop the flow of the liuid to every and all of the faucets in a house or other locality. Al desire it understood that while l will describe my invention as applied to the faucet, I desire it to be used y .being formed in any Well known'or desired 8 designates an extension on said rovided with screw threads to which is a apted to be secured a plug .9 which is provided on its bore with sores7 threads 10 adapted to receive the threaded portion 11 of fic' the valvestem 12 which extends 'upwardly through the bore of the plu said ug also having the nut 13 in threaded engagement therewith for holding the packing 14 1n position. An exterior portion of the plug 9 is also threaded'tp-'engage Wlththe threads 1-5 of the cap or cover 16 Whichis adapted to rest upon the upper ortion of the extension 8 ofthe casing 2, 1n tile resent instance upon the shoulders 17 for ed) thereon, it being undei-stood that the ca y is provided with a suitable opening to em race the stem 12 which latter is provided with a hand-wheel 18 for rotating said stein, any suitable means for connecting the hand Wheel 18 lwith the threaded stern being employed.A

The lower portion of the casing 2 is provided With an opening 19in which is seated a plug valve 20 which forms a ground joint with the Wallof said opening 19, said plug valve having a suitable recessed portion or bore 21 and a port or opening 22 through the well thereof which, when in proper osition therefor, forms a communication etween the inlet 8 and the recessed portion 21 of the plug valve and thus to the port 50il the casing. The end 23 of said plug valve is squared and proiects below the casing 2 for engage- ,ment with a suitable tool. The plug 20 is held in position in any desired manner, in the present instance, by the Washer 24 which is in suitaole threaded `engagement With the casing 2 and abuts against a shoulder 25 on saidplug valve.

26 designates a Spanner Wrench or other suitable tool having a squared opening adapted to engage the squared end 23 of the plug valve for rotating the same.

The operation `of the parts .'ust describe( Will be apparent. Zhen the plug valve is turned in the position seen in Fig. 3, the port 22 is in register with the inlet :3, so that the fluid passing through the inlet Will be direeted into the recessed portion or bore 21 but as the valve 7 is seated upon its seat 6 further passage of the fluid is prevented. By the proper rotation of the hand-Wheel 18, the

l valve stem 20 is rotated and'as the same is in l through the outlet` or discharge 4.

therein is removed from its position in coinmunieation with the inlet 3, which is thus closed by the wall oi the plug valve 20, and further passage of the water is completely eut olil after which by removing the hand Wheel 18 the cap or cover 16 can be unscrewed from the plug -9 and the latter can also be removed from engagement with the casing 2 if this be necessary, thus Aremoving the valve 7 and the operating parts. By again turning the plug 2O and thus Causing the port 23 to register with the inlet 3 which can be done by proper rotation of the plug valve 20, the passage or the iuid will be again controlled by the valve 7. I provide a suitable mark or indicator as at 27 on the plug valve 20 to indicate the position to which it should bel turned to either out oli or permit the iiow of the fluid.

From the above it will be understood that I provide a valve for the opening and closing of the faucet and I provide an auxiliary means for entirely shutting ofi' the Water by which means each faucet in a building ean be separately controlled for entirely shutting off the Water for repairs, etc., Without vdiscontinuing or shutting oil the entire Water supply in said building. g

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i In a -faucet, a casing, .an inlet andoutlet tliere'for, a port between said inlet and outlet, a valve controlling said port, a valve stein, a

plug in threaded engagement with said. eas-` ing and with said valve stein, a cap or cover in threaded er'igagenient With said plug and diseonneetrnl with and abutting against a shoulder on said casing to completely ilu-.lose

said plug but pern'iitting 'free movement oi" l the stem and a nut engaging the interior el said plug and ont of contact wlth said cap.
